  • Support the integration of financial and production data to ensure alignment between project execution and financial outcomes.

Reporting, Forecasting & Metrics
The Production Finance Analyst is central to the preparation and delivery of accurate, actionable reporting that supports decision-making at both the project and studio levels.

  • Generate and deliver weekly and month-end reports for internal stakeholders, including Producers, Finance, and Executives.
  • Support cashflow forecasting by tracking project timelines, client billing schedules, and payment milestones.
  • Assist in compiling end-of-month and end-of-year financial packages, ensuring data is audit-ready and compliant with internal standards.
  • Manage and reconcile production data from systems such as ShotGrid and timesheets to inform workforce and cost metrics.

Process, Systems & Compliance
This role supports the ongoing improvement of tools, workflows, and documentation across Production Finance operations, while ensuring compliance with internal standards and audit readiness.

  • Assist in the enhancement of reporting templates, tracking tools, and cost reporting systems to increase efficiency and accuracy.
  • Maintain consistent and organised documentation for all production-related financial data and correspondence.
  • Ensure compliance with studio policies, including timesheet accuracy, TOIL/overtime tracking, and financial record-keeping.
  • Support Finance leadership in the provision of audit-quality documentation and the implementation of process improvements.

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Communication
Operating at the intersection of Production and Finance, the Production Finance Analyst is a critical link between departments, helping ensure shared visibility and timely data flow.

  • Liaise with Producers and Coordinators to ensure production activity is accurately captured in financial reports.
  • Communicate updates, issues, and blockers clearly to the Senior Financial Accountant or Financial Controller, supporting the proactive resolution of risks.
  • Collaborate with the Shared Services team to coordinate reconciliations, data alignment, and process consistency across global teams.
  • Contribute to a culture of clear communication, professionalism, and accountability across teams and stakeholders.

Team Support & Studio Contribution
As part of a small and collaborative Finance team, the Production Finance Analyst is expected to show initiative, flexibility, and a solutions-focused mindset in support of team and studio objectives.

  • Provide backup assistance across the Finance team during periods of high demand or absence, including task-sharing and documentation support.
  • Manage and prioritise personal workload effectively, adjusting to evolving project needs and delegated tasks as required.
  • Proactively seek feedback, contribute to process improvement discussions, and support knowledge sharing within the team.
  • Where requested, assist with recruitment activities, team onboarding, or feedback discussions to support the development of a high-performing Finance function.
